Will a door close when this is installed on it?

Of course that depends on the clearance between your door and the jamb. It closes fine on my doors. The metal strap that goes over the door is only 1/16 of an inch thick.

The door I have it on won't close but it will close on on of my other doors. There is no true answer for that but I do love it and use it all te time

It probably has about a pound of holding force. So if there was an automatic closure on the door, then probably not.

No. It's gravity loaded so when you shut the door it automatically latches because of gravity.

It will go off if anybody moves the door toward the wedge. Of course if the wedge is on the wrong side of the door it could be removed by anybody.

I don't think so. You just place it around the door frame, so it would just get pushed off when you push the door in

Yes, if it's in place, it will go off when the door opens from either side.

Only on certain doors. Wont be able to close all the way on doors that have a tight gap between the door and frame.

No, it doesn't. I think that it's automatically closing makes it a little safer, because it can't be inadvertently left open. If need be, it would be easy to prop it open with a door stop at the bottom

If installed properly, I see no reason why this won't work. Mine is flush with the door jam when closed, which is the same as on a converging door.

no that hasn't happened to me. Mine has a bit of trouble actually getting closed as it is so tight. We just shut it until it stops then push the buttons to close it the rest of the way. Otherwise we slam it shut and then it shuts just fine. We love the gate especially the fact that we can take it off and leave the brackets when we want to.

My husband installed it and then realized it was meant for another door, so he had to remove it. He had no problem doing so. :) Hope that helps!

Yes, it absolutely will. I've never had an issue with it, but we try to be pretty careful when opening the door. As one commenter noted, you have to open the door pretty vigorously for this to be a real problem.

Yes it closes the door even if you forget (like I do) it installs next to the wall button for your garage door, the instructions are pretty thorough.

No. The pressure applied after connecting the pressure stoppers will close the gate. The directions clearly state this. Read them.

There are brackets that mount to the doorway that hold the bar in place. Because of these brackets you will not be able to close the door in this doorway unless you cut notches out of the door or doorway. I have seen other products that mount in a closed door frame, perhaps that would be a good option for you. Good luck!

It's a magnet on the top of the door. I haven't had any problems with mine staying closed.

No. The gate will not latch or close shut until the pressure stoppers are put in place. Straight out of the box, without the pressure stoppers, the gate will it close.
